Getting my first mould in the mail tomorrow - Lee TL356-124-2R double cavity. Will be ladle-pouring until I get my Lee pot.

Tonight I plan to smelt the rest of my lead. I have 56.8 lbs of WW already cast into ingots. After tonight I'll have roughly 38 lbs. of stick-ons.

I'll be casting this bullet for light 9mm loads (I'm thinking 3.5 to 3.7 gr. of Bullseye)

Assuming the WW ingots are hard enough for this load, what would you guys do with the softer stick-on ingots? Trade it to BP shooters? Add some ratio of it into my WW ingots? Or just save it for adding tin later? Thanks for any advice.
